<VV> Differences between '65 and '66

[Kent Sullivan]

Yes. The mount points were introduced across all Chevy cars (maybe all GM
cars) on February 1, 1966. Look for a small round hole in the Fisher Body
tag for confirmation. Why they chose this as the indicator, I don't know!

The factory RPO A85 front shoulder belts became available for Corvairs (not
sure about other lines) in March, according to the year-end RPO report that
Dave Newell gave me for my RPO stats article
(http://www.corvairkid.com/65-67rpostat.htm). Why the belts were not made
available in February, I don't know. Could be they were late arriving from
the supplier or maybe they wanted to produce some cars with the mounts and
QC them before offering belts...

That would be for the separate shoulder harness. I believe that may have
been a mid year addition.
